We have had a fantastic week focusing on our work and beginning to set ourselves targets in reading and maths. We will work on each target until we've mastered it, then move on to the next.In writing we are busy improving our recounts about the trip to Whites Bay - remember that Jane Austin re-wrote Pride and Prejudice 7 times before she was satisfied but I don't think we'll go to quite that extreme!

HomeworkI have had a couple of queries about what homework in Room 17 looks like. There are 3 parts:1) Reading - 15 minutes each night including talking about what happened or what might happen next2) Spellings - practised each day for the test on Friday3) Basic Fact practise - either on the activities page in maths:https://mrshaltonsclass.weebly.com/basic-facts.htmlOr using a sheet printed out from the homework page with the timer to see how quickly you can answer all the sums:https://mrshaltonsclass.weebly.com/homework.html
